Lemmy uses the CommonMark markdown spec. It is documented in the Lemmy documentation.

There is way to implement tables but I haven't found any official info. It is explained in this post - https://lemmy.ca/post/743625

As the image already posted indicates, you have to double enter for a full break.

Like so.

Iirc, lemmy does line breaks with
Two spaces and an enter. I know reddit did. And, lemmy does as well lol.

So, if you want a full blank line between your paragraphs, you double enter. If you just want it to be on the next line, two spaces and enter.

Markdown is actually really damn nice once you get used to it.

It's not the simplest way to post something.
Will turn away lots of folks, i suppose. But it's doable.
I'm enjoying Lemmy a lot ;)
